Robin,
Thanks for the info and let me know how that turns out for you. I've heard that Miami is the best place to ship from. We are in Alabama and are looking at some options. We have four years to build on our land and will build in 2019 so we have time to figure this out. The appliances, furniture, and some fixtures we will want to ship from Miami.
Options we are looking at:
1. Buy all the stuff here in Bama, some old and some new stuff and then Uhaul it down to Miami
2. Buy online and have it delivered to Miami Cargo Shipper
3. Go to Miami and go shopping and deliver to Cargo SHipper ourselves to make sure everything gets to where it needs to be.
I think what we are talking about is shipping a 1/2 or full container. We are looking at shipping thinks like tankless water heater, electric cook top for the kitchen island, ceiling fans, bed room and living room furniture. The place we are building is only 775 SqFt so we are going with minimal furniture.
Yep. I am a little worried about the import tax.
We are headed down the last week in Sept, so I think I will stop in and talk with the shipper while in Aruba.
I'd love to hear thoughts from others or lessons learned.
